At Wellesley, you will have opportunities to explore your own interests
and to collaborate in creative ways with your peers. The 2019
Orientation theme, Thrive Together, and the corresponding design are
inspired by the collaborative ways in which bees build their hives and
flourish in community. How do you hope to contribute? What inspires
you? During New Student Orientation, we encourage you to lift each
other up and begin to create your home at Wellesley. Embrace the new
and diverse perspectives you encounter and take time to appreciate the
beauty of our inclusive community. Faculty members, other students,
and members of the staff will offer programs designed to help you
create connections and Thrive Together. Welcome.
